Now is the time to upgrade your 2G/3G CDMA gateways with Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Solution Packages that include a LTE router designed for mobile or IoT applications. All the bundles are available with a 1, 3, or 5 year subscription to NetCloud Manager.

The rugged IBR900-600M is perfect for public-safety vehicles and the $100 mail-in rebate offers significant savings. Included with NetCloud Essentials Mobile (Prime) the IBR900 is designed for police & fire vehicles, ambulances, command vehicles, transit bus fleets. It includes 2 sim slots, Active GPS with TAIP, NMEA, and supports FirstNet Band 14.

The first quarter Cradlepoint CDMA Transition Promotion also includes NetCloud IoT (Standard) Bundles with the IBR600B-LP4 and the IBR650B-LP4 (without Wi-Fi). These semi-ruggedized 4G LTE routers are designed for mission-critical M2M and IoT applications requiring 24/7 connectivity. GPS is not supported but two sim slots, ignition-sense, and the dock option are standard.

For non-mission-critical applications, NetCloud IoT (Standard) is available with the IBR200-10M using the Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint networks. The IBR200 is a low cost, reliable solution with a single sim slot.

The LEX L11 is Motorola’s third generation purpose-built smartphone for public-safety professionals using AT&T FirstNet. The device has an IP68 submersibility rating and has Gorilla Glass 3 on the 5.0 inch display. A dedicated push-to-talk, emergency, and programmable buttons differentiate this from a consumer device. It also has dual front-facing speakers (107dB) and three microphones for noise suppression.

The LEX L11 is built with the Android 7.1 OS and has Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/k/r. The 3G/4G LTE radio is UMTS/GSM capable on bands 4, 5, 7, 12, 14, 17, 29, 30, 66 and is AT&T FirstNet certified. A Verizon compatible model is expected to be released in the first half of 2019.

LEX L11 Pairs With APX 6000/7000/8000 Mission Critical Bluetooth

The LEX pairs with APX 6000, APX 7000, and APX 8000 (including XE) models with internal Bluetooth enabled. It will provides remote control of APX radio’s zones, talk groups, and volume, emergency button activation, and allows you to speak directly into LEX L11 over the LMR radio network.

The LEX has a 3.5mm jack and also supports wired audio accessories. The PMLN4541 2-wire surveillance kit with acoustic tube is the most popular for law enforcement. A lower cost PMLN4540 earbud with inline mic is also available.

In the past year Cradlepoint changed their hardware, software, and support choices to single SKU’s designed for mobile, branch, or IoT applications. The bundles include their easy-to-use NetCloud network management software, lifetime hardware warranty, firmware upgrades, and 24×7 support. Pricing is based on 1, 3, or 5 years for predictable fixed budgeting.

Cradlepoint devices support all cellular carriers and are also FirstNet Ready for public-safety agencies. The change to bundled pricing has been a benefit to our customers along with a reduction in overall pricing.

George Mulhern, Cradlepoint CEO explains the change in his video below:
